"You know, really that is not an area or really something we're focused on tonight, " said Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax. "Unfortunately, someone lost their life tonight so that's what we're focused on. Again, I want to send our condolences to the family of the driver who lost his life tonight."

The Dallas City Council voted to remove the statue last Wednesday.

The removal was delayed Friday when the city lacked the proper equipment.
